17 thoughts on “Pop Culture Baby Name Game, 2015”

Here’s one prediction that I’ve made on my blog back in July which sort of fits into here: names from the US women’s football team. They did very well against Japan and I would think that some names below will rise as a result.

Carter — I expect there will be an uptick, although it’s already #14 and James is already #9 so it’s not coming out of nowhere.
Walker — Paul Walker passed in November of 2014 & Furious 7 came out in July.
Sonoya — Sonoya Mizuno Ex Machina actress.
Rami — Rami Malek “Mr Robot” actor.
DuVernay — Getting spurned by the Oscars might give film director Ava DuVernay’s name a boost.
Selma — DuVernay’s 2014 movie and the 50th Anniversary commemoration.
Dixie, Rebel, etc. — After all of the uproar about the Confederate flag, I’m predicting an uptick in “Southern Heritage” names.
